Subject[RFC PATCH 5/5] x86,smp: add debugging code to track spinlock delay value
From: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>

This code prints out the maximum spinlock delay value and the
backtrace that pushed it that far.

On systems with serial consoles, the act of printing can cause
the spinlock delay value to explode. It can still be useful as
a debugging tool, but is probably too verbose to merge upstream
in this form.
